If they want to make money in China they must be a registered business there. They make money by selling ads, so one would assume the only way they can make money in China is by selling ads for things in China, or make more money off of China. So, if they wish to recieve ad revenue from chinese companies then they are required to have a presence in China.
I would also guess that Google has no servers in France, and they are regulated there as well.
From my knowledge of China, I'd say there is a good chance this will have a positive though not doing away completely with censorship, assuming that the letter actually is read by the chinese. One of the prime reasons for the strict authoritarianism in China is because of the political culture of confucianism. In a confucianist culture there is a strict heirarchy and the people are expexted to be loyal; however, it is also the responsibility of the elders and advisors to speak out when they see the country on the wrong path.
So, one would hope this will result in, at the very least, some loosening of restrictive censorship laws. The chinese people do have a vested interest in the transition being measured, look at the shock treatment Russia went through and tell me that is a good thing.
If this is really the cure for AIDS then Doc Savage will be so insanely famous. He could probably walk up to any house in a city and knock on the door and be like, "hey, i kinda need a place to stay and some money."
Then the people there would say, "holy shit, you cured aids, come in. Here is a bunch of good food and some money, come back anytime."
Or it may have to do with the fact that most of the Muslim countries do not have the military power to do as you suggest. But that is just the cultural reletivist in me speaking.
Except when the computers on the warship crashed and forced the Navy to tow it back to port. But, you know, other than a catostrophic crash everything is running great.
The reason to fight a war is that the alternatives are worse.
This is exactly the reason that the idea of a unmanned/robot army is such a horrible thing. It dehumanizes the conflict and makes war less and less of a "worse" choice.
At what point will our robot army get to the point where the people whom we are attacking are essentially in a situation similar to the Terminator or Matrix?
And will the console jockeys recognize the humanity of those they sentence to death?
I do not deny that it is necessary to force to defend that which is good, but I hope you will excuse me if I do not trust the government, any government, to be in charge of a deathless army.
It is also important to note that the term "Native American" was invented by the US government during the beginning of the 20th century as a means to completely invalidate all previous treaties with "Indians."
Given the fact that the article referenced is a rense.com link to the people's daily (communist party's mouthpiece) I will take it with suitable scepticism until further info is forthcoming.
The Constitution does not allow for warrantless searches. Read the fourth amendment, it is pretty clear. This means that the president does not have the power to order them and the congress does not have the power to permit them.
This is such bullshit. Immigration has nothing to do with the total number of people, only the number of people in a given country. As someone who is worried about the state of the environment and global warming(note: not national warming) it is pretty damn obvious that people moving between countries is not the problem.
It is similar to the leaflets. There is a huge downside to this method. By planting stories of dubious truthfulness(truthiness?) that can filter back to decision makers we risk having a self-reinforcing propaganda service. I.E. Our propagandists pay for a reporter in Iraq to say something is true, then spy services and politicians start acting as if it wre true.

If you read the article there is a chance that ths could cure herpes or hep as well.

Man, I wish I invented the cure for AIDS.
Fucking sweet.
Dude, RTFA.
It cures herpes, too.
Resume the fucking.
I know there is some sort of gender preference joke to be made here; but I am waaay to mature to make it.
And I am posting on a mac.

It would be quite easy to locally produce and reprocess glass bottles. Then you would only have to ship the liquids in abd bottle it locally.
As for local distribution, hmmmm. I'd deliver bottles to local stores on a bike truck.
No, Maoism was the closest thing to religion during the Cultural Revolution.
And Atheism is not a religion.

Actually, the analaogy would be complete if the jewish game were called "Oven."
I have to take issue here.
Orcs would never boycott a game that portrayed them as bloodthirsty.

Come on, everyone knows you should *triangle the wagons.
Don't you remember geometry?
Of course, you should be able to firgure that out on your own.
Yay, let's ignore the death and destruction that war causes and worry about the money.
Welcome to the robot future, where the first world supports war, as long as it doesn't cost too much.
That's Gnu/Gnomes to you!
And what if they do not have a host star?
What if they inserted some strawberry flavored genes?
mmmmmm... strawberry baby.

And African invented the original stone tools, rope, and language.
But, yes, at the time they generally traveled the world as slaves.

Well, "should be" is completely different than "are" or "will be."
That is the point, they are not established.

All in all, not a good outlook for the future.
